Red blood cell indices in patients with alcoholism with different levels of peripheral markers of oxidative stress

Introduction. High levels of peripheral markers of oxidative stress (OS) in alcoholism are not detected in all patients. The study of biological parameters in groups of patients with alcoholism, differing in the level of OS severity, is necessary for a better understanding of the role of OS in the development of the disease, as well as for deciding on the advisability of prescribing antioxidant therapy.
